Search
criteria pane of Search parameters
screen of Search My Network program allows to setup basic criteria
for searching through LAN resources. For basic searches (which are the
most frequent) this pane may be used alone, but for more advanced searches
it can be used in a combination with other panes. The most basic search
is just to specify a search mask (e.g. *.mp3) and press the Play button
to start the seeker process (which will find mp3 files in this case).

network items which you wish to find and add to a report. These can be
